Maximum Bells for Ores and Fossils at Re-Tail

A major part of Animal Crossing New Leaf involves making bells to buy housing, clothing, public works projects, etc. You can definitely make bells by picking fruit, fishing, selling unwanted items. etc. to Reese in Re-Tail (and even Timmy/Tommy, but for a substantially (20%) lower price).

One of things I've discovered is that the Flea Market in Re-Tail is an excellent way to make quick bells. When you put an item up for sale as part of the Flea Market, there is a default suggested price that is displayed, which is typically what Reese will pay you for the item. I have found that the villagers will generally pay you double the suggested price for general items like clothing, furniture, flowers, etc. which is great, however, believe it or not, the villagers will pay up to 9,999 bells for fossils and gems and ores that you get out of the rocks like silver, gold, rubies, amethysts, emeralds, sapphires, etc. even if

the suggested retail price is substantially less than that. From what I have found, the villagers typically will not pay more than 9,999 bells for an item, so if you price an item at 10,000 bells, they won't buy it. Also the animals don't seem to want to pay the 9,999 bells for fossils like the fern fossil, ammonites, amber, etc., but you can probably get about 5,000 bells for those items. I have also found that you can sell most gyroids for about 5,000 bells each. I recently even sold a beehive for 2,500 bells, which definitely helps take the "sting" out of the bee sting I got when it fell out of a tree!

Sometimes the villagers will say that the price is too high, but eventually they will come around and spend the bells. I have made quite a few bells selling to the villagers using the Flea Market in Retail, and that really helps out when a public works projects are costly, and a single room expansion is almost 500,000 bells!

Of course, if Reese is paying extra for an item during the day (you can find out what items those are by looking at the board in the front of Re-Tail), she will pay you double the suggested retail price for the selected special item, and if you have a Wealthy (Bell Boom) Ordinance, she will pay you 20% more for everything you sell to her.

I'm sure there are other ways to score buckets of bells, so try out various things and go get your bells!

New Leaf Slushie Frozen Drink Machine DLC Time!

The last of the currently announced Animal Crossing New Leaf DLC items is available for download starting today and going on through 9/21 -- the Slushie Frozen Drink Machine. Just like the other SpotPass DLC goodies, the Slushie Frozen Drink Machine can be obtained from ANY Nintendo Zone location such as McDonalds, AT&T Wireless Stores and Starbucks, etc. Once at the Nintendo Zone, go to Pelly or Phyllis in the Post Office on Main Street and ask them about gifts. After a few moments, they'll come back, apologize for the delay and hand you your present.

As with the other SpotPass DLC items Nintendo is offering, carefully consider if you want to trade or give away your Slushie Frozen Drink Machine, as Nintendo has said that once you get the item, you won't be able to get it again either by ordering it from your catalog at Timmy and Tommy's, or through visiting another Nintendo Zone at a future date.

Hopefully, Nintendo will announce other fun SpotPass DLC items that we can get in the coming months, so we'll have to stay tuned to see what's on the horizon. Enjoy your Slushie Frozen Drink Machine!

New Leaf Labor Day Picnic Basket

It's Labor Day across the USA today and Nintendo made sure that the Mayor in your Animal Crossing town takes a break and enjoys themselves by giving them a Picnic Basket. To get your Picnic Basket, go to your Town Square and talk to the casually-dressed, coverall-clad Isabelle. After you get your Picnic Basket, be sure to take a few moments to pose in the face cut-out standee in the Town Square and take pictures with your 3DS camera to commemorate the occasion.

Also, if you haven't already done so, don't forget that this month you can get the Full Moon Vanity DLC furniture item by visiting the Post Office and speaking to Pelly/Phyllis.

Happy Labor Day!
